    I don't play summoner, but this topic is -this- close to giving me terminal diseases I just feel obliged to reply.

    30 vit over 30 int, 30 mnd or 15/15 int/mnd? The only reason to spec 30 vit would be because you're PvPing. For PvE content there's no justifiable act to do so. Especially contents with enrage timers. The following content has enrage timers:
    Ifrit HM, Titan EX, Ifrit EX, King Mog EX, Ramuh EX, BCoB Turn 4 and 5. SCoB Turn 3 and 4 (and supposely turn 2 as well. Never saw it, though)
    Also encounters with a circumstantial enrage timer: Titan HM (amount of tumults increases), BCoB Turn 2, SCoB Turn 1

    By not having 30 points spend in Int as summoner, you're practically missing out on 4 weapon damage*. For encounters where your group can barely meet the DPS checks, others are carrying a portion of your share. Be it with or without parser. Having a parser running doesn't increase or decrease your DPS at all. The amount of damage you put out is a fact and a software simply allows you to read out numbers that make sense. Not only do you gimp your own damage by losing out on 30 int, you also gimp your egi's. As stated in a previous post: Egi strengths are determined by the stats of the summoner. But being a main summoner, surely you knew of this.

    * Not an exact number.

    As SMN I can confirm what Lyrica said, you're already forced to sacrifice few gear pieces cause you need accuracy for T8/T9 (food wont help you, because pet needs your own accuracy and food doesn't count), there's no way, you need full INT points like bread and water.
